Peer Review of USAID — Activity Summary

The DAC Peer Review, which occurs every four years, is a careful examination and evaluation of countries’ development procedures and policies by an international panel of peers from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). For the 2002 Peer Review, delegations from France and Sweden were designated as examiners and conducted an in-depth evaluation of US Development policies and programs through both on-site and off-site review processes.

The Washington Presentation of the October 22nd, 2002 Peer Review was held on December 4th, 2002, with assistance from IRIS, PPC, and Center for Global Development (CGD). It allowed members of the DAC to present their assessment of US development policies to members of the development community in the US.

Included on the panel for the Washington Presentation were representatives from the DAC: Mr. Jean-Claude Faure, Mr. Ambroise Fayolle, Ms. Pernilla Joseffson, and Dr. James Hradsky. The Assistant Administrator for Policy and Program Coordination (PPC) at USAID, Dr. Patrick Cronin, was the official USAID representative at the Washington Presentation. The moderator for the event was Dr. Steve Radelet of the Center for Global Development (CGD), while Dr. Nancy Birdsall, founder and president of CGD, gave the welcoming address.
